This cemetery was established in 1875 and during the 1930's, equal
acreage was designated for both the white and black communities. It
appears to be divided up into three or more sections, look around
and see all the different headstones. Some are elaborate, some are
simple. Quite a few old soldier's graves from various wars.
Also buried here is Jules Bledsoe, a great American Baritone
singer best known for the song "Old Man River" in the drama
"Showboat". See if you can find him if you have the time.
